Fan Xiaoyan's Half Woman-Half Machine Artwork

Sculptor Fan Xiaoyan has created several part woman, part metallic warrior pieces that I would not want to run into in a dark alley. Clearly the 'Terminator' movie franchise did not have the market on kickass half man/half machinery cornered.

Fan Xiaoyan's titillating tank sculptures make me think of Rose McGowan in Robert Rodriguez's 'Planet Terror'--a role in which she had a machine gun for a leg. Xiaovan's version, however, is ten times more destructive.
